A Song to Remember is a 1945 American biographical film which tells a fictionalised life story of Polish pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin.

Frederic Chopin, a talented young pianist and composer, captivates his teacher Professor Józef Elsner with his extraordinary skills at the age of 11.

Elsner receives an invitation from the renowned music publisher Louis Pleyel to bring Chopin to Paris, hoping to replicate the success of Franz Liszt.

With news of Poland's crushed uprising and the plight of their imprisoned comrades, Constantia, a friend of Chopin's, implores him to rally support or gather funds to aid the cause.

Chopin reunites with Elsner and ends his relationship with Sand to embark on an international tour to raise money for Poland, fully aware that it will further deteriorate his health.

A Song to Remember was nominated for several Academy Awards: Best Actor in a Leading Role (Cornel Wilde), Best Cinematography, Color, Best Film Editing, Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, Best Sound, Recording (John P. Livadary), and Best Writing, Original Story.

The young Polish girl, according to the film, is good because she urges Chopin to drop the work that he loves and go out on a concert tour to collect money 'for the people', for a cause that is identified as national or revolutionary or both, and this is supposed to justify everything – so she demands that Chopin renounce his genius, sacrifice his composing and go out to entertain paying audiences – even though he hates concert playing, is ill with tuberculosis and has been warned by the doctors that the strain of a tour will kill him".

During the Revolution of 1848 in France, George Sand took part in a Polish solidarity demonstration held in Paris on May 15, 1848, calling for the French Army to be sent to liberate Poland".
